Promoting health and care research in educational settings

Improving health and wellbeing outcomes, reducing health inequalities, and helping shape life opportunities for children and young people are key aims for the NENC Child Health and Wellbeing Network (NENC CHWN) and NIHR Clinical Research Network NENC (CRN NENC).

This collaborative project aimed to explore approaches to enhance access to health and care research within educational settings with the aim of providing more opportunities for children and young people to participate in health and care research across the North East and North Cumbria.
